Grave fears have been entertained on
the Pacific coast that the Columbia River
salmon are rapidly becoming extinct.
This year the "pack" amounted to l00,-
900 less cases than last, and the "pack"
of last year was 100, 900 cases less that OF
1885 Less salmon have been canned in
1887 than in any year since 1874. Owing
to the scarcity of fish the price has gone
up so that the dealers realize about the
same profits as usual. In London the en-
tire stock of Columbia River salmon has
been consumed and the trade has been
forced to supply its place with Frazer
River fish, an inferior article.

928.l00 up to August lst, making seven
months loss larger than the entire annual
loss of any year previous to 1881. except
ing 1879, when there was only slight
excess. The aggregate loss this year bids
fair greatly to exceed that of any previous
year in the history of the country. And
what is singular is the large increase in
the percentage of losses in the Eastern
States. These figures are startling and
indicate that incendarism is unusually
to be stopped is a problem of great
moment.

Decree Suspended.

A circular letter from Cardinal Tssche.
reau was read in the Catholic churches of
Montreal yesterday suspending his de-
cree of condemnation of the Knights of
Labor, and admitting members to the
Sacramento on the following conditions:
THAT they confess and repent their dis
obedience of the decree of September,
1884; hold themselves ready to abandon
the society, should the Holy See so Or
dain; promise absolutely to avoid all that
may either favor Masonic and other con-
demned societies, or violate the laws
either Of justice, charity,or of the State"
and, lastly, that they abstain from every
promise and from every oath by which
they would bind themselves either to obey
blindly all the orders of the directors of
the society or keep absolute secrecy, even
towards the lawful authorities"

THE REDEMPTION OF the trade dol
lar was not such q serious affair after
Ill, as it WAS expected before the law
was passed to redeem them. Seven or
eight million dollars was the lowest
number OF these coins, which 1t was be.
lieved would be offered for redemption,
but now, after six months have elapsed,
only about four millions have been Of
fered In the Western cities. Even in

tion will not exceed FIVE millions, and

Turkish Women 1T Home.
Brooklyn Maga Zine.


The women are utterly irresponsible
are treated In most ways like little
children; provided for comfortably, fed :,
clothed and amused, but not educated
While naturally docile and intelligent,
they become shrewish through the igno.
rance In which they are kept. They
are generous with that unthinking
generosity that causes Q child to give
away the most expensive toy, not know
ing the cost. A Turkish woman will
at any moment IL the caprice seizes her
give away her finest jewels. Their
hospitality Ia too we'll known to require
mention. They always have coffee and
sweetme eats served for any and sill
guests, and when they feel that the visit
has lasted long enough they clap their
hands, and the caffejee brings a second
cup of coffee, and that Is the signal.
No guest can stay longer than to drink
this. Sometimes the time between
drinks is decidedly short.
The women and children do not IN.
dress at night, but add wadded night
robe to the clothes they already have
on, and sleep thus summer and winter.
They close all the doors and windows,
and sleep several in one room, and
doubtless would suffer dreadfully from
the confined air, were 1t not that Turk.
ish carpenters never have heard of the
plumb line, and 60 windows and doors
all have crevices which supply ventils-
ton. The tales of Oriental magnif.
cence fail to impress one who has
visited the best harems, for they are one
and all pictures of dirt and wanton ex.
travagance. Tie only great display is
in the amount OF rugs and iewelry. On
the floors of the general room for the
women, or the private suites. it is
always the same-cigarette ends, can
dies, nuuhells, necklaces, gold EN-
broidered slippers and sashes, and in
short, all sorts OF disorder and dirt.
And the women arc always eating,
smoking, or lolling about on the divans.

studying their lessons. While the

In this manner he read novels and told
stories to the younger pupils, and In
this way managed to preserve tolerably
